Anyone out there know what is required to obtain a DA? Do you know anyone who can issue them on the south coast/south west?
All in CAP 403. Since there are many permutations of DA your question is hard to answer.
The CAA "issue" them, but for initial issue, find a DAE willing to work with you, apply for a provisional DA, and get going. 403 says:
The CAA will refer any pilot who is seeking a DA to a DAE in his discipline and area.
and from 1302:
A list of Display Authorisation Evaluators is available from the CAA FOI(GA) Department.
